Reviews / Votes
"This book jumps straight in with chapter one (Essentials of infection control), dispensing with the customary preface or introduction, eager to proceed with the task in hand--that of disseminating information about preventing and controlling infection in dentistry ... .This near-200-page paperback has appendices of useful information; a four-page index; photographs, diagrams and charts; and literature references accompany each chapter."
